Re: first surf build.

You can buy disk brake hand brakes that go on the transfercase / drive shaft and they just bolt on. They would be the easiest option. Suzilla (think thats spelt wrong) on here sells them, cheers,from what ive seen on lvvta, carden shaft is only certifyable if factory fitted to gearbox unfortunatly....

Re: first surf build.

had the day off work today and started haveing a play with the rear brakes..it appears the leone calipers are more suited to a smaller diameter disk as it leaves a section ontop of the pad not swept. hard to see but theres a scribed line on it (about 5mm from top) http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/...

Re: LJ78 Starting to piss me off

if it is the contacts the starter will give one click per turn of the key to start..rappid clicking would point to poor voltage,either battery or on the excite wire or failed hold in coil in solenoid.
